ldapmodrdn w/ 2.3.7

[Dusty Doris <openldap@mail.doris.cc>]

I am noticing something interesting with ldapmodrdn on 2.3.7.  In the 
manpage, it states one or more blank lines may be used to separate each 
DN/RDN pair.  However, if I create a file with multiple entries in it, 
seperated by a blank line, it appears ldapmodrdn is not ignoring the blank 
line or using it as a seperator.  Instead it appears to take its value as 
null.

For example, if my file contains the following, the first entry will 
succeed, but the second will fail w/ Invalid DN syntax.

uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net


Running ldapmodrdn -r -n -v -f testbad, shows
Renaming "uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net" 
(delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net"
        new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net" 
(delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net"
        new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)


If I modify the file and remove all blank lines, so it looks like this.

uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net

They will all succeed.

Renaming "uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)

Is ldapmodrdn supposed to use a blank line to seperate the dn/rdn pairs?
